Shaving. It’s something us guys do pretty much every day. That is, unless we grow a beard. And despite Allie’s persistent requests for me to do so, I still spend a few minutes every morning, sliding a sharp object across my face to cut off all my hair follicles. I’ve been shaving since I was […]

No, this post is not talking about the Sonic Boom Tails’ Jet that I’m giving away. Instead, I”m talking about the brand-new e-commerce site Jet.com. Jet just launched last month and has a real unique take on shopping. It’s a club subscription service ($49.99 annual membership) with some real low prices. And the more […]

While my kids are addicted to Nintendo, that doesn’t necessarily mean that our house is overflowing with Mario toys everywhere. Okay, fine, so it is. But they do like other characters as well, including that blue-furred hedgehog Sonic! We’ve got a slew of Sonic action figures and stuffed animals all around the house and when […]

It was my second time attending a BlogHer conference. I had a blast at the last one a few years ago in NYC and only went again this year because the show made its triumphant return to the Big Apple! As part of my Blogger Hat Trick (Part 1 was Blogger Bash, Part 3 was […]

We’re big fans of Netflix’s original series Orange is the New Black. It’s ridiculous, shocking, depressing, hilarious, over-the-top and guaranteed to entertain. You just never know what’s coming next. Seeing as how show creator Jenji Kohan is also the woman behind the way-more-violent-but-equally-entertaining Weeds, I’m not surprised how much Allie and I love Orange is […]

I can’t believe there’s an Ant-Man movie out. I can’t believe there’s an Ant-Man movie out and it doesn’t stink. I can’t believe there’s an Ant-Man movie out and it doesn’t stink; it rocks! Yeah, I’ve been a life-long fan of the Avengers comics. Granted, I’m still a little hurt that Captain America didn’t become […]

Home. It’s not the place where you park your car. Or store your stuff. No, as cheesy as it sounds, home really is where the heart is. It’s being with your friends and family. We’ve moved a number of times since we got married. So yes, we’ve had a number of houses, but wherever I […]

I kissed a pig and I liked it. #peppapig #bbnyc A photo posted by akardon1 (@akardon1) on Jul 17, 2015 at 4:00pm PDT Last week I pulled off the super rare blogging hat trick. Yes, I attended three different blog conferences in three days. Sure, they all overlapped and all took place in New York […]

Last week, I got to see Ant-Man in New York City at a special screening hosted by none other than Ant-Man himself, Mr. Paul Rudd. My full review coming soon (Mini Spoiler: I loved it!), but if you’re looking for a… ahem… “little” fun, the spiffy folks over at Marvel have put together a fantastic […]

I love traveling. Whether it’s by car or plane, I’m always up for a trip. Which is one of the reasons I absolutely love my new job. I’ll be going on a number of business trips around the country this year. But the coolest thing about my new job is that for my first three […]
